The First Extrasolar Planet Discovered with a New Generation High Throughput Doppler Instrument

Astrophysics 2014-10-13 v1

Abstract

We report the detection of the first extrasolar planet, ET-1 (HD 102195b), using the Exoplanet Tracker (ET), a new generation Doppler instrument. The planet orbits HD 102195, a young star with solar metallicity that may be part of the local association. The planet imparts radial velocity variability to the star with a semiamplitude of 63.4±2.063.4\pm2.0 m s1^{-1} and a period of 4.11 days. The planetary minimum mass (msinim \sin i) is 0.488±0.0150.488\pm0.015 MJM_J.
